Crafty Sentiments GDT Card

If anyone would like to follow my blog you can either click on the 2 red squares next to the 'join' button and then click follow or, copy the link and paste it into your reading list.  For some reason my button has never worked :(


Hi all, it's challenge time again over on Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge Blog and I am thrilled to announce that I have been accepted as a GDT on Team A for about 6 months.  This weeks theme is 'Summer' or 'Summer Colours'.  The lucky winner will win this prize:





I chose to work with Annabel - Butterflies and Flowers.  The store has some absolutely beautiful stamps, digis and other crafting goodies with monthly new releases :)


I loved working with this image as it conjures images of running through open fields in the middle of summer chasing butterflies :) something I used to do as a child

I've made an easel card with a box underneath as I wanted the recipient to be able to have it as a keepsake as well as a card




I've coloured her with Spectrum Noirs and given her red fiery hair, great colours for summer.  This image shows the card and box closed up





This shows a close up of the beautiful CSD stamp and that fiery hair :)






I've filled the drawer with a stationery set and some handmade notelets to match the image on the card.  I did this by scanning my finished image into my computer and then used a programme I have to create the little notelets.  The opacity is set so that the image looks very faded on the paper





This was another project I've made myself using a pencil and ruler to work out the size and design and then I used my Ultimate Pro from Crafter's Companion and The Boxer board to score all of the lines and get a good fit for the inner drawer.  The box itself is roughly 6"x5" and 3" deep so the recipient should be able to fit quite a few precious things in it.

Items used:

I had lost my marker list (it was buried under my crafting table) ........ but........found it :)

HAIR - BG7, DR7,5, CR11,8,  OR3, GB5, CR3
TOP - DR7,4, CR11,8,3
JEANS - TB6,5,4,3,1
SANDALS - GB10,8
BUTTERFLIES - LV3,1, TB4,3, PP4,3
NET HANDLE TN7,4,3
GROUND - DG1,2,3
SKY - IB1

I've used Marrianne Design, Xcut and Memory Box dies,  flowers and gems from my stash and I've used a button and some beads to create a little puller for the drawer.

LOTV papers, Kraft Card for the box and card
